The information appears as follows: "Vader (father) Pieter Hendrik Kruger Gebore. De. 23. Mei.1853 ............................ In Abertnager. Vort. 1904 ............................ Gertruida. Aderjana. - Henning. 10 Agts 1854. ................................ Segrysa. Gertruida. Prinsloo 12.Jan.1888 2 De. Vrou. Hendriena. Machdelena. Kareliena. 4 April. 1874 ............................................... Andries. Bernades. Johannes. 11 April. 1876 ................................................ Hester. Susana. Magrieta. 6 Jullie 1879 .............................................. Gertruida. Aderjana. 18 Des. 1882 .............................................. Anna.Sofiea. 23 Aug.1884 ............................................. Pieternela. Hendrieka. 27 Jan. 1886 ............................................. Pieter. Hendrik (I suspect this is my grandfather) 29 Jan. 1891 ............................................ Jan. Aderjan. 7 Sept. 1892" There is also a castle with three towers and the wording ".... et fidus". I am not at all sure that this has anythnig to do with the Krugers. I checked our family heraldry and none of them has a castle. It may only have been backing paper. I hope this will bring us close. Have you had a look at the Arbeitslager yet? I am going to do so over the weekend. Maybe it was a spelling error. Pieter Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
